The year is 2013. Twerking becomes mainstream, thanks to Miley.
During some downtime around Christmas, myself and a couple of colleagues at DF London (Jam) came up with a festive game that lets you get into the Christmas spirit and twerk to your heart’s content.
The game uses Node.js and WebSockets to pair your desktop and mobile phone. Enter the unique code on the mobile site, then shake your phone.
A genuinely silly thing that taught me a lot about real-time browser-to-browser pairing. Still works as far as I know.
